A Maya petition at Nima Ha. The brujo says prayers to the spirits who dwell in the cave and asks their protection.
This image is from an old (2004 here) story on the the Maya Underworld. The pictures have sat in a box until this summer. Now my intern is scanning the images, giving them new life. I had long thought, and been encouraged to put the Maya Underworld images together in a more extensive form than the National Geographic story. What that will be, a book or a long web piece I don't know. I do know that I should get it done before the world ends in 2012.
Enjoy the holiday weekend.
